Can anyone explain Peters vision in Acts 10. Does God contradicts Himself when He also gave the health law on Leviticus 11?

The unclean foods in Leviticus 11 are still unclean. They are all extremely unhealthy animals to eat. Don’t get me wrong ,eating them or not is not a basis for salvation. However, I choose not to eat them for health reasons, because God tells us they are not good food.
The verses in Acts where Peter see’s a sheet come down showing unclean animals and saying they are clean isn’t literal. If they read further it explains those verses, it actually says it wasn’t talking about the animals literally, it was talking about the Gentiles (who were originally considered unclean). Once Stephen was stoned the Gospel was taken to the Gentiles. God was telling Peter that they are no longer to be considered unclean anymore. It refers to PEOPLE, not animals. The animals in the vision were just used as an example.
Nowhere does it say that this is about health. These laws had to do with the people becoming ceremonially defiled.
Peter’s vision had to do with Gentiles who were “unclean” to the Jews, and God was letting it be known they were to be accepted; those who embraced Christ.
